IW jZ f+ arwfore fffldlfim M M qM ATTORNEYS ends of the frame. It isdesired to point out that the attaching hooks 32 may be disconnectedfrom the attaching rods 33 to allow the container 30 to be lowered tothe floor for the purpose of filling the same or partly filling the samewith paste. When the receptacle 30 is in position the rotation of theroller 20 will cause a quantity of the paste to be applied to the rollerfor subsequent application to the paper. The paste is thus uniformly andthoroughly applied to the under side of the paper so that the paper isin condition to be immediately applied to the wall.

As the paper passes over the paste apply-.

ing roll 20 it engages the surface of an idler or tensioning roller 36by means of which the contact of the paper with the roller 20 over awide area of the latter is provided for.

The paper is urged into engagement with the paste applying roller 20 bymeans of a skeleton paper weight 40 the rear portion of which is formedwith a hinge barrel l2 for the reception of a hinged rod a3, the saidhinge rod being connected to the ends of the frame in any suitablemanner.

In use the skeleton paper weight 40 is pressed into engagement with thepaper by spring pressure and the further application ofthe paste to theunder side of the paper is provided for. j

As the paper is unrolled the same is cut longitudinally by one or moreknives Se curedby means of set screws 52 to a knife carrying bar 54. Theset screws hold the cutters 56 of the knives in engagement with thepaper and when the set screws 52 are released the knives may be swungrearwardly by turning the same upon the rod or bar 54 into engagementwith the handle 58.

' To aid in the adjustment of the knives 50 j a rule 60 is extendedacross the frame and s secured to the same by means of angle is bars orbrackets 62. The desired calculation may be made by means ofcalibrations or m dications on the rule 760 and the paper may 'thus becut to the desired width.

A machine constructed in accordance with I this invention provides anextremely simple matching patterns of the paper and as the pap er ispasted the same is severed along a straight l neso that it may be hungon the wall.

One of the principal advantages of this machine resides in the fact thatit may be conveniently set up and transported from placeto place andthat it quickly and ex- 1 peditiously applies the paste and cuts thepaper along the proper lines.
